Maple-Bacon Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 strips bacon
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, cornstarch (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for best crisping. Use two sheets if necessary.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. While fries are baking, cook bacon strips until very crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.
6. Once fries are done, remove from oven. Drizzle evenly with maple syrup and sprinkle with crumbled bacon bits. Toss gently to combine.
7. Serve immediately.
